Premier League manager lands new role in the grassroots game - just hours after leading his club to a win

A Premier League manager gave back to the grassroots game as he took up his flag and became a linesman for a day.

The popular boss traded his hopes of Champions League football to volunteer at a local club and rule young girls offside.

Andoni Iraola was pictured by an onlooker looking focused on the job as he ran the line at a match for Merley FC vs Lilliput in an under-11s game on Saturday morning.

He had some free time on his hands after masterminding Bournemouth's 3-1 win over Fulham on Friday night, and no immediate games to plan for with the international break upon us.
